Since taking on her current role in 2020, Xie Wen has commercialised future growth engines with various digital programmes and Fintech partnerships, including SCeChain in partnership with Linklogis, SCePay and SCeCollect, which significantly enriched the Bank’s inclusive finance agenda and benefited SMEs broadly.

In her new role, which is effective 1 April 2022, Xie Wen will be responsible for further expanding Business Banking in an efficient and sustainable way through partnerships while simplifying how we engage with clients through digital onboarding. She will continue to be based in China for this role.

Mohamed is joining Standard Chartered from ING where he began his career with ING Direct France in 2006. He went on to assume several positions at ING’s head office in Amsterdam, including product manager, innovation program manager and Head of Business Development for retail markets in Europe, Australia, and Asia from 2011 to 2017. In 2018, he was appointed Head of Retail Development Asia where he leveraged his experience from Europe and built extensive industry knowledge in digital banking through launching the first digital bank in the Philippines and leading several strategic initiatives in Southeast Asia and China. Mohamed holds a Master of Science in Strategic Marketing Leadership from the Henley Business School and a master’s degree in social sciences from Paris la Sorbonne university.

In his role as Global Head, Digital, Mohamed will be responsible for delivering a best-in-class digital agenda across CPBB. He will join the Bank on 28 March 2022 and be based in Singapore.

Judy Hsu, CEO, CPBB, said, “As we increasingly shift how we service our clients to digital channels and scale Business Banking by acquiring SME clients digitally through partnerships, the deep expertise and extensive experiences of Mohamed and Xie Wen will be invaluable to Standard Chartered. This is an exciting time for us as we accelerate our digital transformation and I look forward to their leadership to take our business to greater heights.”
